    The U.S. healthcare system contributes over 8.5% of national greenhouse gas emissions, generates significant waste, and relies on products containing harmful chemicals—making sustainability a critical priority. Nurses, as the largest segment of the healthcare workforce, are essential to driving meaningful change. However, many nurses report not knowing where to start.


    Join the Alliance of Nurses for Healthy Environments’ Practice Forum for this timely webinar, featuring speaker Jeremiah Headen as he discusses a new nursing-focused sustainability toolkit developed by ANHE. This online resource includes a practical action checklist, case studies of nurses leading environmental initiatives, and tools for engaging healthcare leadership. Whether you're a new graduate or an experienced nurse, this toolkit is designed to empower you with the knowledge and confidence to implement sustainable practices in your workplace.
    Don’t miss this opportunity to be part of the movement for a healthier, more sustainable healthcare system.

    Learning Objectives:

    1. Describe how the health sector contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, waste generation, and chemical exposure, and explain why sustainability is essential in clinical practice.
    2. Examine the critical leadership role nurses play in promoting environmental health and sustainability within healthcare settings.
